Title: Evaluation and Treatment of the Cyclist
Presenter: Kirstin Weible, PT, ScD
Topic: Recreational and competitive cyclists make up a growing
population in the physical therapy clinical setting. This group presents a
a unique set of injuries, overuse syndromes, pain, and dysfunction. Understanding
the common pathologies are seen in this group of patients and how to readily
identify and treat them will make clinical sessions more effective and
efficient. Additionally, a comprehensive approach to these patients that also
involves their position on their bicycle and how and when to change the
components that can alter that position in order to reduce pain, injury, and
the dysfunction will further improve the clinician’s ability to treat these
patients most effectively.
